Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

Chapter 56 - 56 Ms. Fangʼs Welcoming

56 Ms. Fang’s Welcoming

The following were her suggestions.

For the pool in the yard, the best bricks should be built around it so only one hole of the spring was shown.

A patch of brick land was to be built around, which would make it easier for the water to be used for the garden.

After that, an underground ditch would be dug to lead the spring water from the garden to the courtyard. The underground ditch would also be covered with blue bricks and built on both sides. In this way, the land would be flat and the surface will not be ruined. Nor would the spring be dirtied.

Then, they would dig a pool in the backyard to connect the water for easy takeout. But the exit would remain hidden, so that it could leak straight to the sewers and ditches in the village.

Shao Yunduan nodded. “Dad, Mom, it sounds very convenient.”

Ms. Fang agreed too, seeing that her son had said yes. She smiled. “I think it is a good idea, what about doing it like this?”

Eldest Uncle was worried about spending money. So he hesitated. “The bricks are not cheap. We have to spend money…”

The well expert’s mouth twitched, thinking that the garden behind was completely made of blue bricks, right? Since they could use it for the land, then why not for the water?

Ms. Fang had a clearer mind in this aspect than him. She said resolutely, “It doesn’t cost much. It is going to be very conveient too. Let’s do it this way now!”

Eldest Uncle nodded eventually.

The well expert patted the thighs and said with a smile, “Good. It is very sunny these days, let’s start the project as soon as possible.”

“Good, good!”

That the active spring was discovered in the wasteland in the yard of the Shao Family was spread all over the whole village.

“What? A spring in that wasteland? An active spring?”

“That can’t be possible!”

“Is it real?!”

They all got shocked and rushed to have a look at the place.

Elder Uncle was smiling brightly while he was engaged in the work with the well expert, with Shao Xiaoqi helping alongside.

Ms. Fang was receiving guests who wanted to have a look at it.

“…that is a real, active spring! Just take a look at it as much as you want! My Duan is very lucky to have got a really good wife who has brought so much fortune to us since she marries him! A spring from a wasteland! Now we have water in the yard, and it makes everything so easy!”

“More convenient than a well! And it saves us the trouble of carrying the water! We don’t have to spend any more effort!”

Ms. Fang was showing off without trying to conceal a thing.

Everyone forced a small smile and answered with ‘oh yes’, ‘true, very convenient’. But they were not actually glad to see this.

Why did they never run into anything good like this?

They had been laughing at the wasteland a couple of days ago, but now the family got an active spring!

Look at the spring! It looked so vibrant and clear!

Ms. Fang felt even more happy seeing everyone’s face.

They had been bad-mouthing her and the family behind their back, and she knew everything they had said.

Now they were slapped right on the face, right?

Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma were among the group who had watched the show. They felt so sour inside their hearts. After all, they were the ones who laughed loudest at them a couple of days ago.

Ms. Ma, who felt really sour, could not help but spit out. “Springs here are not realiable. They get dried up in a couple of days. You don’t have to spend so much efforts on it. What about waiting for some more days?”

Ms. Niu laughed. “That is so true!”
